New York city has cancer hospital,
recently opened for patients, which is a
splendid monument Of Christian charity
and an honor to the city. The building is
the gift Of John Jacob Astor. Mrs Eliza
beth Hamilton Cullum also contributed
literally toward the purchase Of grounds
and other necessities, and few Of the
wealthy men of Wall street gave s., 900
or $40 900 each. The building IS at the
corner Of One Hundred and Fifth street
and Eighth avenue, and is "A rectangle,
lOcx5O feet in extent, with round towers
street. IL is in these towers that the
unique and very convenient feature Of
the hospital appears. Up the center Of
the tower runs a large yentilating shaft,
and from it the beds extend out 10 the cir
cular wall like spokes from the hub. The
southeast tower is fitted up for patients
who desire and can pay for extreme pri-
vacy, for the general plan is to take pa
tents Of means as well as those who eau
pay little or nothing There are accom-
modatiOns ample for seyenty-seven pa
tients. The operating room is as light as
rh, outer air, yet well secured, there are
circular seats in the usual style for clinics,
and an elevator on which the patient, ly
ing upon his bed, is gently raised to the
room. All the arrangements for admins
tering anesthetics are very complete. The
situation Of the hospital is as pleasant as

After the second war with Great Britain
the first session to begin with dangerous
excitement was that Of 1920, when
Maine and Missouri knocked for admis-
sion. The famous compromise was adopted
intMarch, 1920, but the second session OF
that congress was equally stormy. In
December, 1S49, began the ever memora-
BILE "long session, lasting till September,
1850, admitting California, fixing definite
ly the Indian and territorial policy Of the
nation, and settling, as was then fondly
hoped, the slavery question forever. Yet,
only six years after, another and scarcely
less memorable session began in which
two months were consumed in choosing
speaker, and the only absorbing issue was
slavery Finally, on July a, 1861, began
that congress which dwarfs all others in
interest, which provided for "A war with
out parallel in modern times, and enacted
sweeping changes in finance, tariff and
constitutional problems Of which we can
even now but dimly discern the full inn
port and which we cannot yet temper
ately discuss. Then was the flood tide Of
excitement. Since then, with alterations

Disease Ia House Walls.

A celebrated physician has remarked
that every house ought TO be pulled down
al the end Of the risneth year, az it has
by that time absorbed all the disease Of
those who have lived IN it, believing that
wood and plaster absorb gases, foul air
and feyerish exhalations rs readily as
milk or water does. But as it is not prac-
ticable to tear down houses every half
century or SO, it is 10 be considered II all
the wood used in their interior construc-
ton and all the plain surfaces OF plaster
should not be so thoroughly oaed or var

be almost entirely destroyed, and the

salaries of an army of officials ?

THE Hemlandet, the Swedish organ of
Chicago, has an appeal in English in be-
half of foreign immigration, saying: GAS
regards Sweden, it hasn't in that cotln-
try more than one Socialist. He is a
tailor, who learned socialism in Germany,
and enjoyed perfect freedom in Old Sweden.
For the curiosity of the thing, he cannot
be spared for America. Now, because a
few Germans who have been driven out
from Germany on account of their anarch-
istic views have, true to their nature,
raised the impossible red banner in this
country, is there shadow of fairness and
reason in maintaining that all Germans
and all other foreigners must be Anarch-
lists ?" No one has seriously so claimed.
1t may be unfortunate, in sense, for the
German name that most Anarchists in this
country have been Germans, but it is not
in the mind of anyone worthy of consider
ton held to be a reproach to all Germans
or to Germany. The Hemlandet is sensi-
tive to an excessive degree in defending
Germans. They need no defense. They
are, in America, as class, frugal, indus
trious, lawabiding, intelligent pec-
pie, able to defend themselves in debate
and to justify their conduct before the
public There are Germans, as there are
Englishmen and Frenchmen, who are radi-
cal Socialists and mountaineering Anarch-
lists. The doctrines of these schools of
agitators do not relate to nationality, and
attach no shame to the law-abiding, order
loving man, because, perchance, some of
his tongue embrace them.

Sis, 835, 900 by internal revenue the wool
men should holly protest against their in
dustry being sacrificed to prevent the
piling up of surplus To cease collect
ing internal revenue taxes will not only
save lhe $1l9,000,00O nearly, but save
the cost of maintaining $500 and upwards
of internal revenue officers. This was
probably Senator Stanford's idea, for he
early proposed abolition of internal reye-
nue. as the best means of reducing
the surplus. Mr.. Blaine, favors, how
ever, keeping the tax upon whisky,
and he and Mr.. Cleveland therein
appear to be agreed. The idea of the Re
publican, however, is that high whisky
lessons drunkenness. But Mr.. Charles
Heber Clark has exploded that idea by
showing that England collects almost one
fourth of her revenue from liquor taxes,
and vet in England there is more Of
drunkenness, proportionately to the popu-
lation, than in any country in the world.
The very fact that the distillers of liquors
in America are now opposed to the re-
moval Of the tax is a strong reason why it
should be abandoned.

held in abject servitude and unbending
bondage. They are bought and sold as
chattels in the monger's stall, and serve
their hard masters as did the diamond
searchers in Brazil beneath the lash of the
oveIseer. An effort is being made to put
an end to this nefarious business. But our
methods in law are slow; cur legislation
languishes in the lap of Congress, and be-
tween the lack of the written statute on
the one hand, and the Unreasonable mercy
of the laws of human right on the other,
the Chinese slavers rush in their chattels,
and use the very weaponry of the law to
defeat it, Our hope is in the national leg
islature, and that il will awaken to the
need for haste to prevent the continuance
here of the greatest of crimes against
liberty.
